Hey guys I havent posted on here for a couple years. Im working on 2005 honda rincon 650. The original problem was the bolts holding the starter gear to the flywheel backed out. We have replaced the stator and fly wheel along with a new rear crankcase cover. Upon completion ( it had been sitting for months ) we put a bit of fresh gas in the empty tank and fired her up. It spit and sputtered a bit. And was kind of hard to get started. After hearing it run came a carb cleaning. Cleaned the carb out and put it back together. Now it wont even fire. It had great great spark. Will not even fire off starting fluid. Every great once in a while it will backfire and send a nice healthy flame back through the intake. Does anyone have any more ideas.. timing... etc... ???

Is there a torque spec to follow on a 300ex for the clutch springs or should I follow the old snug em up and theyll be fine?
Its been awhile since I've been on TT. A lot of things have changed. Hopefully the TT'ers nowadays are still just as friendly. Thanks, Broc.

Hey everyone.
The ATV in question is a 2008 Yamaha Raptor 250 Special Edition. The primary rider wants a little bit more power ( she is 15 years of age ) and wants it louder.
Money wise, it needs to be cheap, no complete exhaust sytems.
I was looking on ebay and found the CNC machined "power tip." Does this make a big difference in the noise level?
The second question is, what mods are available for the airbox, and what air filters are available as well?
Anyone have any input?

I can't remember how old it is, but it is fairly new.
I own a trickle charge, lol. I've just been putting it on for a bit a night. The thing is, I am going on a trail ride tomorrow, and it shall be interesting when the bike dies at the bottom of a revine or something, haha.

Hey guys, I haven't been around here in quite sometime. Not sure if this is the correct place to post this question but I thought it would be worth a shot.
The bike in question is a 95 XT 225. After riding it for about 3 hours(ish) the battery will die and you must push start it. The battery can be charged and the process repeated.
Just before this problem started, my father was riding it and all the magnets on the flywheel busted off and kind of locked the engine up. Since then the flywheel was replaced, and the stator wires had been cut up and were put back together.
Any idea to what could be causing this? You can take the positive battery cable off of the battery, and the bike still runs, so I believe the stator is still working. But, when you take the cable off it kind of bogs a bit, and regains itself.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks...

Would anyone happen to know where these off brand VIN are? I bought an ATV off of someone that ended up being stolen, when the cop went back to the guys house he was running the VIN on another ATV that was located there. He couldn't find the VIN, and asked me if I could help him find it. Anyone have any idea where they are?
Thanks guys.

When you paint the frame and put everything back together, you need to make sure and sand all of your connections off to get a good ground on the frame. Also, not having the kill switch on could be a big factor if you didn't wire it back together right.
